If I could give Tor’s place 10 stars I would. It’s a beautiful and wonderfully decorated home, super-comfortable with so much character. Tor is a brilliant host, there to meet us, there when we left, gave us loads of recommendations, and is just a lovely, interesting guy! We weren’t particularly looking forward to staying in BKK but staying at Retropolitan made it into a great trip, and we would like to have stayed longer. The area is perfect, the old town is great, close to Khao San Rd, and with great transport links all within walking distance. We particularly loved taking the water taxis on both the canal and the river, plus there’s an express bus to both airports very close by. If we come back to BKK again we’ll definitely stay here!
